A Little Getaway

Kevin had a conference in Phoenix this year and with Clara turning a year old, it was a perfect time for me to go with him.  It was a much needed break and chance to have some relaxation and time together.  I sure love being with this guy and I'm grateful he seems to like being with me as well.  The first night we got there we went to the Diamondbacks baseball game, which is fun because we are big baseball fans.  Kevy especially.  Anytime he has the chance to go to a ball game, no matter the teams, he is there.  It was fun to go with him without needy kids. we found a really good little pizza joint that night and then went to the game after.  I was a little tired and when the seventh inning stretched on forever I was done. I just wanted to head back to the hotel.  We watched a movie and then slept in until 10 am!  It was crazy to just sleep and relax for a few days.  We spent that just hanging by the pool and reading before we decided to head to the Gilbert temple.  We thought it would be fun to go to do sealings at another temple that we'd never been to.  We had planned to go out to dinner and were headed to the restaurant on the freeway when  Kevy spotted a sign for Café Rio.  Of course we had to go there for dinner.  Mine ended up being gross but at least Kevy got his beloved Rio.  The temple was absolutely gorgeous and ended up being one of our favorite things about the trip.

After two days together we headed to the conference, which is still fun but not as fun because Kevin is in classes all day.  We at least got to eat together. but the meals were a huge disappointment compared to the last conference we went to, and the big event was really lame with really bad food.  We did however get to stomp grapes which was a new experience.  But honestly it didn't matter if the conference wasn't that great because I got to have a little break from reality and spend some much needed time with the man I love.
